CNN is not renewing Reza Aslan’s show “Believer” in the wake of a vulgar tweet he directed at President Donald Trump.

“CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series ‘Believer with Reza Aslan,'” the network said in a statement, according to Variety. “We wish Reza and his production team all the best.”

Aslan, an Iranian-American author and religious scholar, tweeted after Trump made a renewed call for his temporary travel ban, “This piece of shit is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He’s an embarrassment to humankind.”

Variety reports:

Aslan came under fire earlier this month after using profanity to describe President Donald Trump in the wake of remarks the President made about the terrorist attacks on London. In the tweet, Aslan called Trump “a piece of s–t” and expressed dismay at Trump’s use of the tragedy to promote his desire for a so-called “travel ban” on certain kinds of people hailing from specific countries in the Middle East.

The author later apologized, saying, “I should have used better language to express my shock and frustration at the president’s lack of decorum and sympathy for the victims of London. I apologize for my choice of words.”
